Abstract

Black triangles or absence or loss of interdental papillae (IDP) is one of the most important steps of decision-making process of clinicians. The IDP is a dense connective tissue that is covered by oral epithelium and is found in the space between the gingival tissues of two adjacent teeth. It protects the periodontal structures by acting as a biological barrier, and also plays a critical role in aesthetics. The shape of the IDP between the teeth is determined by three important aspects - contact relationship, the width of the proximal tooth surfaces, and the course of the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). The loss of IDP creates esthetic and phonetic problem and may also lead to food impaction. Orthodontic, prosthetic and restorative procedures are the non-surgical approaches that can modify interproximal spaces thereby inducing modifications to the soft tissues. The surgical technique aims to re-contour, preserve and reconstruct the soft tissue between the teeth. In the present case, pouch technique (Han and Takei) using Connective tissue graft was performed for papilla reconstruction.
